This will give you a host of statistics about your feed reading, and will allow you to sift and winnow your feeds based on your actual reading patterns. There is a link on the Reader page that will take you directly to the Trends page and it is possible to delete feeds simply from that page.

I do make a point every so often to clear out feeds that I no longer find useful. I also find that some sites have changed, so the type of articles and the quality has changed to the point where they are no longer relevant to my interests. Some nice advice here.

My point was to remove blogs that rarely have updates that are valuable to you. A blog can update 10 times a day, but if you only get value out of one post a week, then that's not really a good ratio, since you're bound to spend a lot of time "separating the wheat from the chaff". I actually love blogs that are seldom updated BUT each update they post is of tremendous value. @instapogrum

If they were interesting once, they can come back or still be useful, and one of the beauties of syndication is that it costs nothing to let a quiet feed sit to see if it comes back to life. If they make the list too long, make a folder for stuff that doesn't update often. Why is it essential to remove seldom updated blogs?
